Police in Malaysia have detained a group of bikers for performing Superman-style daredevil stunts on a dual carriageway that went badly wrong when several of them crashed, causing a pile-up.

The footage, reportedly filmed on the East Coast Expressway on the Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge on Sunday, 24th December. Shows the bikers racing down the road.

A number of them lie flat on their seats with their legs outstretched behind them as they perform the dangerous ‘superman’ stunts.

Two of the bikers then come off their bikes, sliding down the road as their friends try to avoid them.

But the person filming and the biker in front of them then also fall to the ground despite swerving in a desperate bid to avoid hitting them.
